Maximium Benefit - Minimal Effort
Too often people look at exercise and diet as "complicated." It is anything but complicated, nevertheless, this is how the combination of media, government, anyone selling a vitamin, or perhaps the greatest things in "ab blasting" technology makes things confusing. Everyone in the game is just trying to make a dollar, pass a bill, or write something interesting so blaming them is just a waste of time. Besides, it works to affect people's habits, opinions, and general direction when it comes to exercise and diet. So, let's make this a little simpler.
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT FOR THE LEAST AMOUNT OF EFFORT?
If the world of exercise and diet are a struggle, consider this previous statement. If you are having trouble getting off the couch to exercise do you honestly believe that all of the sudden you will workout 5x a week, 2 hours a day, not to mention remove all processed foods and shop only at organic markets with you hemp sewn bags? The answer is no. So, again, what is the maximum benefit for the least amount of effort. This is where the Exercise Economist comes in.
Consider walking everyday for 30 minutes adding a salad to every dinner. This is very minimal effort.....walking and eating something green. Not complicated, not terribly strenuous, add a bunch of salad dressing and you will never know there is something healthy down there.
What is the benefit? A LOT! Will this make you lose 10 pounds a month, get ripped arms, or change the way your boss looks at you....probably not. But here is what it will do. Walking 30 minutes a day reduces risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis. Not having all of those conditions would be a GIANT BENEFIT! Furthermore, the antioxidants and general nutrients in a salad with spinach, carrots, tomatoes, etc. also reduces the risk of these same conditions. Very little effort, a lot of benefit.
Absolutely, to get the ripped arms and flat tummy a lot more will have to be done but honestly, if you are not willing to go for a walk and eat a salad, two very easy things to accomplish on a daily basis, then those other goals are just a dream.
Also, being healthy saves a lot of money that would have been spent on health care. Who doesn't like having more money?
So, in closing, make it simple. Don't look at exercise and diet like it is ancient rock scratchings in a cave. If you don't know where to start, try a walk and salad....maybe pet a puppy (drops the stress level). Give it a try.
